Despite legal protections, their high-value timber has persistently fuelled illicit trade driven by economic incentives weak enforcement in remote areas, endangering biodiversity traditions. This Comment article proposes comprehensive alternative approaches to combat the advocating for a strengthened framework, enhanced monitoring systems increased support local authorities. It highlights importance...

Abstract Large old Ginkgo biloba trees (LOGTs), with profound ecological and cultural significance in China, face increasing threats from climate change human activities. We employed the BIOCLIM DOMAIN species distribution models to predict their spatial patterns under present doubled‐CO 2 scenario 2100. collected 604 validated LOGT occurrence records data on 19 bioclimate factors for analysis. Our study yielded a geographic pattern covering wide latitudinal belt extending south subtropical...

Despite their relatively small numbers, large old trees play disproportionately important roles in global biodiversity and ecosystem functions. There is a lack of systematic reviews quantitative analyses the accumulated literature. Understanding research context evolution could pump prime conservation endeavors. Using comprehensive Web Science, we applied VOSviewer (1.6.19) CiteSpace (6.1R2) bibliometric software to examine tree field 2000–2022. The queries bibliographic database generated...

Climate change jeopardizes species survival, particularly for endangered species. This risk extends to the Chinese endemic tree Tapiscia sinensis. The factors underpinning T. sinensis’s habitat distribution are poorly understood, and its potential response future climate scenarios remains unclear. With six shortlisted 117 occurrence records, we modeled across China using BIOCLIM model. We applied principal component analysis examine primary restricting geographical range. findings indicate...

Venerable trees are important natural resources and cultural heritage, offering historical, ecological, social economic value. However, global warming anthropogenic activities have threatened their welfare survival. A comprehensive understanding of current future spatial patterns, vis-á-vis environmental conditions, can inform the co-management sustainable resource use conservation. We employed existing occurrence data variables (bioclimate elevation) to simulate optimal habitats for...

Invasive alien plants pose a serious threat to native ecosystems and their biodiversity. To control spread damage, it is critical clarify the potential distribution patterns of invaders at regional scale response climate change. Mimosa bimucronata (DC.) Kuntze, shrub extremely tolerant stressful habitat conditions, used as firewood hedgerow in tropics. Since its introduction China 1950s, has established sustainable population become an aggressive invasive species. Due ecological threats...

Jacaranda mimosifolia is regarded as a prized ornamental tree in the urban landscape with attractive, abundant and long-lasting violet-colored flowers graceful form. It has been widely cultivated recent years many Chinese cities. However, lack of scientific practical guidance to cultivate exotic species brought about planting failures some areas, incurring substantial economic losses decline. A comprehensive understanding current spatial pattern climatic conditions J. China can inform...

Abstract Historically, the diving duck, Baer’s Pochard ( Aythya baeri ) was widely distributed in East and South Asia, but according to a recent estimate, its global population is now less than 1000 individuals. To date, mitochondrial genome of A. has not been deposited available GenBank. Therefore, we aimed sequence complete this species. The 16,623 bp length, double stranded, circular shape, contained 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA two rRNA one non-coding control region. Many structural...

Alligator gar Atractosteus spatula originates from North America but has been introduced into China recently. Considered an invasive fish, it may cause losses in the diversity and number of local species fish catch due to its predation on numerous aquatic animals non-native habitats. A comprehensive study this alien species’ existing spatial patterns relation climatic variables is critical understanding conditions amenable distribution controlling further spread potential range areas. We...

Ormosia hosiei is an endemic plant in China listed as a national grade II key protected wild with important scientific, economic, and cultural values. This study was designed to predict the potential suitable distribution areas for O. under current future climate change provide reference enhance species’ conservation utilization. Based on actual geographical locations of Sichuan, we applied two species models (BIOCLIM DOMAIN) its patterns. We also analyzed major climatic variables limiting...

Hemlocks (Pinaceae: Tsuga) are widely distributed in North America and East Asia, forming a reticulate evolutionary structure Asia with significant ecological importance. To clarify the chloroplast genome characteristics phylogenetic relationships among Tsuga species, we analyzed genomes of T. chinensis var. tchekiangensis, chinensis, diversifolia, dumosa, forrestii, sieboldii, performing associated analyses. The results reveal that lengths six species vary from 120,520 to 121,010 bp,...

The mountainous regions of southwest China are recognized as pivotal centers for the origin and evolution

Introduction Jacaranda mimosifolia , native to South America, is a notable ornamental tree widely used in Chinese urban landscaping due its aesthetic and environmental value. Despite popularity, the cultivation of J. China faces challenges, including intermittent failures various regions. This study assesses potential distribution response climate change, providing insights for application promotion. Methods Using MaxEnt software, we developed an ecological niche model from 218 records...

Old trees as a natural heritage are significant components of terrestrial biodiversity, and they also play an important role in the ecosystem.An overall understanding distribution patterns ecological characteristics old China's Anhui Province will provide valuable insights into tree conservation scientific planning.Based on data from 617 field collection historical sample documents, we applied DIVA-GIS combined with BIOCLIM model to qualitatively quantitatively analyse their dominant climate...

Demarcating a plant species’ actual and potential biogeographical distribution is crucial for understanding the key environmental variables shaping its habitat conditions. We used MaxEnt species modeling to predict likely range of China’s endangered species, Handeliodendron bodinieri (H. Lév.) Rehder, based on forty-four validated records eight selected variables. Combined with percentage contribution permutation importance, jackknife statistical method was applied test evaluate pertinent...
